But in an instant, she forgot what she had been thinking at that moment.

She remained seated at the table, studying the information in her diary and the relationship between the chaotic starry sea and the tranquil mountains. Today was her first day in the tranquil mountains, and she was fortunate enough to reunite with the Ashes, who was sitting opposite her eating honey cakes and urging her to have some as well.

A notification suddenly popped into Yu Xunge's mind.

[Mandatory Quest in Gods Game: Slay the Ashes]

...

She stood outside the forest, her hand trembling as she gripped the dagger, watching the little robot B80, whose Rubik's Cube glow had completely dimmed, just as she had when she first met it on the garbage mountain.

Like Tulan, its abilities were sealed by the God's Game for only 30 seconds. Even when the time was up, it did not resist, but allowed her to harvest its last bit of life.

Congratulations to the player "Wine and Song" for completing their first Demon Game quest!

In an instant, it felt as if I had woken up from a nightmare.

Yu Xunge was pulled back to the table. Huang Jin was still sitting opposite her eating honey cake. When he saw her come back, Yue Xiong wanted to wave his paw with a smile, but he quickly stopped smiling and looked at the apprentice with a worried expression.

Do apprentices like to cry?

Perhaps it was because she liked it. Huang Jin had seen her apprentices cry countless times, tears when they created miracles, tears when they were betrayed by friends. When she was a child, she cried the loudest when she saw the old newspaper in her office that read, "The moment of chasing the sun that opened an era has ended, and the Heavenly Hu Haoqi was born in Huang Jin!"

But she had never seen the apprentice so quiet. She sat there staring blankly at herself, as if waking up from a deep drunkenness and trying to recall what absurd things she had done.

At one point, tears welled up in the other person's dark eyes. She probably remembered everything. She closed her eyes with her brows furrowed, and her eyelashes were also wet.

Her breathing trembled, as if her faith had collapsed, as if she had done something she could never forgive herself for.

Moon Bear walked over and hugged the apprentice, who flinched slightly. This made Ash guess what was going on, but she still stubbornly and forcefully hugged the apprentice, making him bury his face in her furry belly.

Even through the thick layer of fur and ashes, she could feel the apprentice's scalding tears. She asked as casually as possible, "Is the Demon Game really that scary?"

The head buried in the stomach shook.

It simply concealed the fact that its game had already begun; it merely issued a few tasks under the guise of a divine game, and even thoughtfully reduced the difficulty of the tasks to the minimum for her; she made all the choices herself.

The ending was a happy one. Huangjin, Zhuri, Tulan, and B80 suffered no losses, and she gained an SSS-level skill and a lot of experience for each mandatory mission she completed. She even learned two divine skills during the process!

But she made her choices time and time again.

The process of making choices and completing the task while "sober" will be a nightmare she will be unable to escape for a long time to come.

Devil games don't rely on outcomes to torment players; players tormenting themselves is enough.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xunge, seemingly having regained her composure, pushed Huang Jin away. She curved her lips into a smile, but it wasn't a genuine laugh, so she didn't force it. She handed Huang Jin the diary she had previously protected so carefully: "Teacher wants to go..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she noticed a new note in her diary.

Please send my regards to your suffering.

"Searching for Songs in the Mountains"

A wisp of golden lightning snaked upwards from Yu Xunge's fingertip toward the note, destroying it.

She closed her eyes, slowly exhaled, and forcibly suppressed her feelings—all of which were fake. She asked, "Teacher, are you going? You can go to the Devil's Game at 6 p.m.

Huang Jin didn't ask the apprentice if she wanted to continue participating in the Demon Game. She simply made an appointment with the apprentice to pick up the diary that evening, and then watched the apprentice leave. The apprentice seemed to want to be alone for a while.

But to Huang Jin's surprise, only half a minute later, the apprentice returned, sleeves rolled up, furious and brimming with murderous intent; she had come to retrieve the diary.

【Wine and Song】: If you want to enter the Demon Game, sign up quickly. Tonight at 6 PM is the Wasteland, who will be at 6 PM tomorrow?

[Winter Shark Cold]: Can I sign up? Is there a fee?

【Wine and Song】: You? You can even cut in line! As long as you can arrive at Senhai before 6 PM tonight, you'll be allowed into the Demon Game at 6 PM tonight, while the Wasteland will be waiting for 6 PM tomorrow!

Cleaning up the ashes on my belly, covered in clumps of tears and snot: ? ? ?

[Carrying Wine and Searching for Songs]: Who else is there!

【Ze Lan Fat Goose】: ...Are you taking revenge on the Chaotic Star Sea?

[Wine and Song]: Order Badges can be delivered to your door in Lighthouse and Snow Village. I will be heading to other cities now. I will update the group chat when new teleportation points open.

[Raging Motorbike]: You dare say that? Xun Ge, don't forget how she seduced and then abandoned you. Look at me, your loyal junior.

【Carrying Wine and Searching for Songs】: Enough rambling! We're all players in the Chaotic Star Sea, we're all family, and we all have a chance.

【Dawn Cicada】: Can I cut in line if I sign up?

[Carrying Wine and Searching for Songs]: Come quickly!

【Ze Lan Maple Syrup】: ?

【Carrying Wine and Searching for Songs】: Stop testing me, you can do it now!

If she can't sleep, then nobody can get a good night's sleep either!
